The discussion that has ensued in the comments section is worth a look, the politics of jewellery for men being one interesting thread.<\/p>\n<p>In another thread, one <a title=\"esteemed curator Kevin Murray\" href=\"http:\/\/crafthaus.ning.com\/profile\/KevinMurray\" target=\"_blank\">local agitator<\/a>* has also suggested that the show was &#8216;Very Melbourne&#8217;. I thought, as I read the comment, &#8220;That&#8217;s gonna be a hard one for the (predominantly) international audience to follow.&#8221; To my surprise, many people chimed in with their local reference cities, of places that in their opinion would and would not play host to a similar exhibition\/project.<\/p>\n<p>Moderator Brigitte Martin did ask about the archetypes of Melbourne and\/versus Sydney style. I could list off some in reference to women&#8217;s jewellery that have been told me, and some that I have experience of, but in terms of (artist-created) jewellery for men, I think we&#8217;re in un-or-under-explored territory. Doncha think?<\/p>\n<p>And as for the &#8216;so metro&#8217; comment, I&#8217;m not sure if that means metropolitan, or <a title=\"not heard in this context for years, maybe it's making a comeback...?\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Metrosexual\" target=\"_blank\">metrosexual<\/a>&#8230; It&#8217;s been a while since I heard the latter, which makes me wonder if the meaning has morphed recently? If it&#8217;s the former&#8230; hmm. Does it refer to the work, or the models?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*and I mean that in the best sense, Kevin.<\/p>\n<p>Previous posts: <a title=\"alternative images of the jewels, off the man\" href=\"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/?p=3934\" target=\"_blank\">my ManJewellery<\/a> + <a title=\"Majewellery logo by Femi Coppi\" href=\"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/?p=3913\" target=\"_blank\">ManJewellery invitation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man + Jewellery = ManJewellery<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[111,107,57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exhibition","category-jewellery","category-part-b"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4079"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4079\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4083,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4079\/revisions\/4083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
